Its what happens when you panic buy versus sit back call some coin shops around and ask some basic questions. He just ran as fast as he could and said please mess me over. Trust me this isn't the only deal he's panicked over it's a pattern

[@BradYaateeh.]

Amen to that. How I found Yankee is a result of my research.For context I have collected coins since the age of 10. Six months before I planned to retire, I was one of the millions who had no faith in the dollar and I had a sizable 401K. I was going to put at least half of it in precious metals. Started researching on KZbin because I find it more efficient than a google search. Found and glued myself to Yankees videos and SD Bullion. Because of the size of my 401K, I started a self-directed IRA at SD Bullion.

[@LegacyStacker]

Yes, he could have just gone to Tim, or SD Bullion, and would have done much better! 😎🏆You've got to go with a dealer you can trust!

Just wait it out, as long as you don’t sell you’ll get it back eventually.

[@terrancenorris9992]

Wow! $4000 per ounce on some of the gold he bought, outrageous! $50 per ounce on silver! Outrageous!.😮

[@bellowsforge9726]

Very sad news for the man who got screwed on his purchase, he should have doubled checked the prices before making that big comment. But shame on the bullion company that did this

[@dgun6924]

Emotional high dollar financial moves are dangerous. Everyone needs SOMEBODY whom they can bounce these type of decisions off of, for a sanity check. Even better if that person is experienced in the same transactions. When it seems like the sky is falling best to remain calm and take cover before acting out of panic.

Who takes all their money out of the bank and then dumps it into something without doing any research at all obviously

[@TheSpuggiehawk]

Very sad. There's a lot of advertising for this company on YT too. He didn't get scammed as much as he had the wool pulled over his eyes by a dodgy salesman. He left the purchase decision to the "expert" because not everyone can know everything about financial planning and issue associated with it. To all those with the harsh comments about fools being easily parted from their money, consider how well you know every detail of the financial and tax systems and consider how much you may be losing because you don't know it all. I hope Hartford make this right for him. He was certainly duped, but I don't think it would count as fraud.

Happens to a lot of 1st time buyers like my brother with Mark twain gold coins.sold them to me at spot price and he took a bath.they look pretty.

[@stonedog5547]

Seems like he's the kind of guy to be taken in by fear mongering and lies....

[@cowhand6112]

You know the shyster sales rep just laughed and laughed when he hung up the phone after scamming this poor guy. Hell will have to crank up the heat several degrees when the rep shows up.

[@vince131s]

It’s really all on him for not doing his research. Don’t spend 6 figure amounts without doing your homework. It’s no different with buying a car, a house or anything else. Stop blaming everyone else for your hasty, uneducated decisions😑

[@stoepie1015]

Well, in South Africa, after VAT and premiums we pay around $50 per ounce for silver. And if we sell, we get just below spot. So I feel this ma's pain.

[@bill4572]

That guy's story got me going crazy you do not take all of your money and hand it to a person have them buy your metals and panicking like that over a election is insane if he did spot deals and you know what I mean oh well buyer beware

[@waynewilcox4776]

He was going to swing trade back into dollars. Then he would do the same thing all over again if we see negative interest rates.

[@marthaprice3448]

My own Mother was getting her cash together right around the election & the night after he won, even with all I've been teaching her, she called me up excited and announced she was "quitting everything because she knows now everything will be fine for 4 more years at least!" She's walking right at the edge of a cliff and going to find herself in a giant mess financially. It's hard teaching people to learn about a purchase before you buy or you get "overcharged" & most won't know it.

[@joshsimchak2938]

I would love to know where these people have 400k to spend .

[@Johnmartins648]

Inheritance

[@bobegan2121]

I worked 40 years in same job as high school teacher at same school. Always hear these financial companies “if you have over 250 k, call us”. I am NOWHERE even remotely close to that. No inheritance here

[@danielmakin4351]

This makes you wonder how some people are even smart enough to get this kind of money ! My advice is if they wont let you out with a refund, just hold.....!

[@k9spjack]

He most likely got that money from an inheritance.
